"I don't like to talk nonsense, Rebek."

Sitting on the stone bench, Ron re-lit the cigar and exhaled white smoke: "Tell me everything you know."

"Don't think about it!"

Rebek's voice seemed a little muffled, and his head was facing the ground so that his mouth was full of gravel.

"Bah... bah!"

He turned his head with difficulty, showing his side face, his red eyes fixed on Ron, and his teeth were as sharp as a beast.

With that wrinkled, skinny old face, it looks like a mummy crawling out of hell, ferocious and frightening.

"Ignorant mortal! You have no idea what's in there!"

"When my lord comes, you heretics will confess your sins in the river Styx!"

"Oh……"

Rebek swears fiercely, but gets a casual response from Ron. After listening, the latter turned back and asked.

"Is Rebek a believer in any sect?"

"This... I'm sorry, my lord."

The leader of the excavation team thought for a moment, then shook his head: "Although Mr. Rebek has settled in Alabasta for more than ten years, he has devoted himself to studying and rarely shows up, so we locals know little about him."

Seeing Ron's disappointed eyes, the captain immediately added.

"But I know some clues, which should be related to his becoming like this."

"Oh? Let's hear it."

Ron regained his energy, and stepped on Rebek's head with another foot, signaling the captain to continue.

"Yes! It's like this..."

The captain began to tell.

There are always mysterious stories in the desert no man's land.

Its inconquerability has created legends that the desert is as numerous as stars, and even the Naferutali family who has ruled here for hundreds of years dare not say that they know every sand dune.

The story of the captain is the legend about the desert river Styx.

It is said that there is a river Styx underground in the desert, and the souls of the dead will sink into the sea of ​​sand, cross the river Styx, and go to the kingdom of the dead.

Hundreds of years ago, a small town was eroded by yellow sand, a large number of livestock were submerged by yellow sand, the wells were dried up, and the people were hard to live.

Looking at the withered and broken town, the mayor of the town decided to move and lead everyone to find a new home.

This sort of thing is common in the desert kingdom of Alabasta.

It happens even now.

Because the desert is not always the same.

Like the sea, it has its ebb and flow.

The closer to the no-man's land, the more unpredictable the environment there.

When the yellow sand begins to engulf the living space, migration becomes the only hope for people to survive.

However, I don't know if it was bad luck or something else, the mayor led the residents to walk for ten days in a row, but none of the oases recorded on the map were seen.

On this day, the water was in short supply, and the elderly and children with weak constitutions were dying. Facing the eyes of the residents asking for help, the mayor felt very painful.

At night, everyone gathered together to rest, and suddenly someone outside exclaimed.

"It's a river! There's water!"

"What a big river, we are saved!"

Crash...!

At the same time, the sound of rushing water was earth-shattering, waking up the men, women and children in the camp.

The mayor led his people to the sand dunes. Looking at the black python that was tumbling and churning in front of him, he lost his ability to speak.

He didn't understand why a river suddenly appeared here. They were located an unknown number of kilometers away from the coast, and even sea water couldn't flow here, and they would be swallowed up by the desert halfway.

But this did not hinder the joy in everyone's heart. They took drinking utensils and ran to the river to fetch water.

Everyone had a good night's sleep that night.

The next day, the mayor ran to the sand dunes immediately after getting up. Looking at the still existing river, he was ecstatic and announced that he would build a new home here.

No matter how rivers appear, deserts live by water, and no creature can survive without water.

Now there is a freshwater river beside me,

Only a fool would change places.

The reconstruction work is going smoothly, and with the water source, there will be vitality. The mayor was relieved to see the dying residents slowly recovering and the livestock rejuvenated.

but.

The good times don't last long.

That day, someone woke up and found that the color of the blood vessels under his skin had become very dark, black like ink interspersed between the skin, he was shocked and rushed to the doctor for treatment.

However, the doctor didn't have much to do about it. After asking some questions to make sure there was nothing wrong with his body, he reported the matter to the mayor.

Facing this strange disease, everyone was at a loss.

But fortunately, the strange disease only changed the color of the blood, and did not have a bad effect on the body, so everyone gradually relaxed.

until one day...

At night, the mayor had just fallen asleep when he suddenly heard a non-human roar coming from outside. The town suddenly fell into chaos, with screams and strange "chi~chi~" sounds everywhere.

When the mayor went out to have a look, he found a group of dark monsters chasing and killing the residents.

They have an upright posture similar to humans, but their eyes are red, their bodies are covered with viscous black liquid, and their palms are turned into sharp blades.

After killing a monster with all his strength, the mayor was horrified to find that when the mucus faded away, what was exposed inside was a normal human corpse!

And he knew that person.

It is the blacksmith in the town!

The sword that killed the "monster" was still made by this blacksmith.

Monsters are people becoming!

This earth-shattering news made everyone unexpected. Everyone was suspicious and guarded against each other, for fear that the companions around them would turn into those terrible monsters in the next moment.

What happened next in the town is unknown.

Anyway, in the end, only a few survivors escaped and brought the news out, adding such a legend about the Styx to the desert.

"I've heard the story too!"

A young guy in the excavation team raised his hand and said: "When I was a child, my mother used this story to lull me to sleep, telling me that those people actually died long ago. The reason why they didn't find the oasis was because they were in the kingdom of the dead, not the real world at all."

Ron: "..."

What a talent your mother is!

Is this a horror story?

However, this deliberation also has a meaning, warning people that although the water source in the desert is important, they should not drink at will.

The townspeople in the story turned into monsters, apparently because they drank the water from the great river that suddenly appeared.

This is also a very important enlightenment education for children.

"That's right, Styx!"

At this time, Rebek suddenly raised his head in reverence: "The great Lord of the Styx, the master of the kingdom of the undead! Please show your might and take away these blasphemers!"

"..."

There was silence all around, only the sound of people breathing one after another, echoing in the quiet underground space.

a few seconds later...

Boom!

The violent vibration startled everyone. The workers turned their heads and looked at Rebek, who had been stepped on the ground by Ron again, with the corners of their mouths twitching wildly.

Uh……

I almost forgot again, the scariest guy here is "Blue Dragon" Ron! ! !

"Bullshit Lord of the River Styx!"

"If it's so awesome, there's nothing wrong with the world government?!"

"Have the temper to rule the world, idiot!"

Ron exhaled white smoke disdainfully, stepped on Rebek's head and pushed it a few times, completely blocking his mouth.

All gods that do not manifest themselves are paper tigers!

The "Lord of the River Styx" that Rebek talked about had at most a special ability to turn people into monsters, maybe it was some strange parasitic virus.

And compared to the "God" exaggerated by legends, Ron believed in his own fists more.

If there really is a Lord of the Styx, Ron wants to fight him twice to see if his awakened strength is really at the top of the world.

Hearing Ron's speech, the excavation team was dumbfounded.

All right.

It seems... that's the truth.

There are a lot of living legends in this world, and it has nothing to do with you, the Lord of the Styx.
